John. Further to my last, what, in GB Pounds would the entry charge be to get in to see the Indi 500?.

Jim.

Lincoln .7

Tickets are very reasonable, starting at less than $50 so about 30 pounds.
It’s very much an “average guy” event. Parking is reasonable as is food/drink (IIRC, you can bring your own).
Of course you can pay much more, the place has something like 250,000 seats.

F1 is a different sport aimed at a different croud. A friend has a home on the Nice waterfront, he goes to the F1 race at Monaco (about 10 kilometers up the road) and reports ticket prices are 500 Euros. While I’ve visted him, I’ve never gone to the race..in part because of that and after having gone to an F1 street course race, you don’t see that much. But everytime I visit we do the course in his car and walk a good bit of it as well. it’s a special place, rather like Indy.

Since you asked about Indy, here’s a shot I (actually my passenger, my car is RHD) took of the front stretch from my roadster. I was there two weeks before this year’s race for a celebration of the race’s centenary. The new timing “Pagoda” is in the background.
